STAT+: As Ebola outbreak in Central Africa grows, the U.S. turns itself into a fortress

The U.S. is no longer bringing Americans who contract Ebola back to the country for treatment, instead evacuating them to European facilities. This policy shift contrasts with the 2014 case of Craig Spencer, who was treated in the U.S. after contracting Ebola in Guinea. Current efforts by the CDC and State Department focus on identifying European tertiary care centers for such cases.
